Resignation of Police Tucker (1899)

Posted on by

Mr. Jos. TUCKER, who has served the town of Plymouth so faithfully for the past three or four years as Chief of Police, tendered his resignation on Monday last which was accepted.

Mr. J.F. AYERS has been elected to fill the vacancy.

Mr. TUCKER has ever done his duty and given universal satisfaction, and in his resignation our town loses one of its most efficient officers.  He has been given a position on the Albemarle & Raleigh Railroad, as Section Master.  We wish him every success in his new work.

Mr. AYERS will no doubt make a good officer.  He was for a long time Deputy Sheriff of this township and filled the office well.
